Rick Perry's Prayer Day Countered with Day of Debauchery and Gluttony

A Facebook invite has been making the rounds with the aim of countering Rick Perry's "The Response" prayer event to be held at Reliant Stadium on August 6. The invite is a counter event titled "Day of Debauchery and Gluttony -- A Great Day of Sinning!"

The invite's sponsors appear to be three college-age men, two of whom went, ironically, to the Dallas-area private Catholic institution Jesuit College Preparatory School. We were unable to reach any of them for a comment.

The event, according to its description, is intended to be "inclusive of everyone who wants to show their extreme disapproval of Rick Perry and everything he claims to support and stand for."

He wants a day of prayer and fasting...I'm saying lets do the exact opposite of this. Debauchery and Gluttony. Not just gluttony...hell, let's commit all of the seven deadly sins (though I strongly recommend you avoid wrath, as I think the world should generally be a happier place).

Organize events. Overeat, have sex with whoever you want to, be envious of your neighbors, be boastful, commit sodomy...I don't care. All we have to do is show that Rick Perry doesn't speak for us.

At the time this post was written, there were just under 3,000 people who had agreed to "attend." However many of them actually show up to express themselves, we recommend doing so as near Reliant Stadium as possible.
